GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas's armed wing said in a statement on Friday that its members were responsible for an infiltration into a West Bank settlement that ended with the death of the two Palestinian militants.

In a separate incident near Jerusalem, Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli border policeman.
